<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We are asking all attendees to please bring along a little plate of nibbles if they can so that we don't expire from all the talking! :) </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;">The ALIA Hunter unconference is only 2 days away!</span></span></span></h3>
<br />
Our rough schedule for the day is below - bearing in mind that unconferences tend to run off on all sorts of tangents - and that's the idea :)<br />
<br />
9.30am Arrival & registration<br />
9.45am Discuss topic options & set sessions<br />
10.00am 1st session<br />
10.30am 2nd session<br />
11.00am Lightning talk 1<br />
11.30am 3rd session<br />
12.00pm Lunch<br />
12.30pm Speed conferencing<br />
1.00pm 4th session<br />
1.30pm Wrap up & finish<br />
<br />
Speed conferencing is something we are keen to try. But what is it?! Here's a little something we prepared earlier....<br />

ALIA Hunter are holding their second unconference on Saturday 14th March at Wallsend library.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The theme is "<b>Ch Ch Changes</b>", reflecting the ever evolving nature of our industry.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What's an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference">unconference </a>you ask? Unlike a traditional conference where an agenda is set and the audience sit and listen, unconferences are driven by the attendees - they set the topics, and then share and discuss amongst the group. It is collaborative and inclusive, and a brilliant networking opportunity.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Best of all, the unconference is free for ALIA members and only $2 for non members. Bargain!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
